Bituminous coal.
In the United States, anthracite is found primarily in northeastern Pennsylvania. These deposits represent the only significant source of anthracite in the country, accounting for less than 2 percent of all U.S. coal reserves. While the Appalachian Plateau contains extensive coalfields, the specific concentration of high-quality anthracite is localized within the folded sedimentary rock regions of Pennsylvania.123
